Englewood, PA
How exposed is Englewood to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Englewood lands at the 50th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 291 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Englewood's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 49th percentile nationally.
Englewood's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Englewood (63.9% of 291 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 36.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Englewood against the rest of the country
Englewood's 82nd-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 50th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Englewood ranks 15,708 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,890 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 358 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Englewood and the insurance market
At the 50th national percentile, Englewood rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 63.9% of Englewood's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Englewood's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Englewood's 15,708-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Englewood's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
